MP: Weapons often linked to serious crime
Today a tough ban on a wide range of knives, weapons and firearms comes into force as part of the Government’s ongoing commitment to tackle violent crime and serious violence. Cyclone knives, spiral knives and ‘rapid fire’ rifles are among those covered by the ban. Anyone unlawfully possessing a firearm covered by the ban will face up to a decade in prison, and those possessing one of the other weapons can be sentenced to up to six months’ imprisonment or a fine, or both.
John said,
“I welcome this ban coming into force. These weapons are often linked to serious crime and can cause terrible suffering, hurt and loss of life. The Government will always take the necessary steps to protect the public, and in this they have my full support.”
